What a shot. Straight down the middle. The win improves Parker’s professional record to 13-0-10KO.

The 23 year old might not have made it into the World Boxing Super Series’ super-middleweight tournament, but fighting as a part of their bill tonight in the Echo Arena in London he will certainly have put himself in the shop window for bigger opportunities to come.

Tonight’s main event in Liverpool will be one of the quarter-final fights in the WBSS between local man Callum Smith and Sweden’s Erik Skoglund.

The main event is expected to get underway at approximately 10pm local time in the UK (2pm PT in the US, 5pm ET) and will also be for the WBC ‘Diamond’ belt:

🏅 The prize for the winner of #SmithSkoglund tonight (as well as a place in the semi-finals!) The @WBCBoxing Diamond Belt! 👌
